We consider general black hole solutions of Einstein-Maxwell-scalar theory that are holographically dual to conformal field theories at finite charge density with non-vanishing magnetic fields and local magnetisation currents, which generically break translation invariance explicitly. We show that the thermoelectric DC conductivity of the field theory can be obtained by solving a system of generalised Stokes equations on the black hole horizon. For various examples, including Q-lattices and one-dimensional lattices, we solve the Stokes equations explicitly and obtain expressions for the DC conductivity in terms of the solution at the black hole horizon.

  1. Quantum critical theories in a periodic potential: strange metallic thermoelectric and magnetotransport

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Holographic models of quantum critical 2D systems with zero-average periodic potentials show better conductivity, bad-metal electrical but Drude-like thermal transport, and approximately B-linear magnetoresistance.
